absolutely love how the chemists wont give each other up. that just goes to show how real the people in the pschydelics game are compared to the hard drug chemists and dealers
I agree. There is much more integrity involved. The people the most deeply involved truly want to help people.
Well said ☝️🙏
😂 sure
They arent anyreal lsd ergot chemists in this doc
Comes with a hefty criminal charge...that pales with comparison to what the cartels or mafias will do
Guy from the dea: “they’re all about money and greed
Former chemist: complete opposite and genuinely nice guy that cares about humans
That one guy needs to try LSD just once.
That guy is prime boomer. Needs to be taken off any form of public speaking.
We all get there eventually there's no shame in admitting age based incompetency.
guy that employs the chemist: yeah, we're here for the money.
@@clocksfinle7 In the olden days, chemists were their own bosses.
Literally everything he listed as a negative consequence of psychedelics is a direct result of the policies implemented by agencies such as the one he worked for and enforced with a heavy and merciless hand for decades.
“If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on.”
~ Terence McKenna
To be fair, not all minds are created equal. People with major mental illness probably shouldn't be using certain types of drugs.
@@runnergo1398 still not a reason to deny it to everyone else that could safely ingest and benefit from the effects.
@@runnergo1398not everyone should drink alcohol.
I have not seen acid since the rainbow connection got busted... JFC where does the time go?
@@cliffp73 I agree.
I've had some experience with LSD and mushrooms, and I can attest to their potential benefits. I've used them to help with anxiety and depression, and I've found that they can be really helpful in promoting a sense of calm and well-being.
I've been studying the research on LSD and mushrooms, and it's really interesting to see how they can affect the brain. They seem to have a profound impact on the default mode network, which is the part of the brain that's responsible for our sense of self and our perception of the world.
The good thing about shrooms is its non addictive, the best experience I've EVER had on ANY drug was shrooms, I've been so happy my face literally hurt from smiling so much for so many hours, but but once the trip wears off the last thing I'm thinking about is dropping another trip, you need time to recover, the closest I'd ever had trips together were a week apart but usually months or years, having said that it's been 6yrs since the last time but certainly would again given the right time and setting
The hardest part is trying to find where to buy them from, how did you get yours?

The biggest negative aspect of psychedelics is what happens if the police catch you with it. That's evil.
Yeh , the vast majority of drugs are only bad because of the legal trouble that they get people in.
We’ll not necessarily. If someone has severe mental illness like schizophrenia or bipolar taking psychedelics can cause someone to become manic, but a majority of humans will have no problem. Down playing the dangers will just make more individuals take psychedelics who might not be mentally ready. Which will cause more reports of people hurting themselves or others which will just allow people to keep these drugs illegal.
@@Thesalviashop so we should make something illegal because of . 000001% of the population.. Talk about being a sheep
@@Thesalviashop Right. Because it's actually best to criminalize someone who might have dormant schizophrenia... Are you even listening to yourself? The point of advocating for it to be treated like a medical issue has historically been one of the *most cited* arguments against the notion of criminalizing the issue. The irony of your comment is off the charts.
@chrisbenefield9963 I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia and have found the effects of certain "banned medicines" far more beneficial than anything I was prescribed by a doctor, actually everything I was prescribed made things worse. A never ending cycle of taking different pills and dosages, until living in Colorado and eating mushrooms in a responsible manner did I find peace of mind, haven't been to a doctor or took a prescribed drug in 5 years, and have been able to live a normal and productive life. Yes, I still have a schizo episode every now and then, but when I do it's managable, and dosent effect my day, week, life like before.
When the cop talks about how it's unsafe because it's unregulated..😒... then make it safer, by regulating it? Idk 🤷♀️
Yup that guy seriously needs to drop a tab or two.
Lol unsafe...
Prohibition makes us unsafe, and creates cartels, criminals
That would be far too sensible a decision for a body like the U.S government to ever have a hand in.
Regulation does not make something safe lol. The FDA regulates all kinds of poison we buy at the grocery store.
The best feeling I have ever had was when I tried LSDee and DMTea. It taught me that Love was the purpose of life.
It lied to you
Hate is soo much cooler tho
Frog 🐸 taught me that
@@christianauswienare you into Q-anon?
😂😂😂😂😢😮😢😢
The ex chemist at the end who was weeping delivered some touching thoughts on how he misses when he was able to help people through making LSD. I think a lot of people don’t realize that psychedelics can be used for good. We’re so brainwashed by the drug war propaganda.
Psychedelics helped me to quit alcohol and nicotine by ease - they just showed me how nice it is to not need alcohol and nicotine and this type of feeling (to be free) was so profound that its was verz easy to just quit alc and nic.
Its amazing how powerfull psychedelics can be
Kid Charlemagne !!!!
There is a flip side. When I was younger a friend of mine took LSD and it triggered permanent schizophrenia. He never came back. So yes it provides relief to some people but it also destroys some.
@@exponentmantissa5598He probably had a family history. LSD doesn’t cause schizophrenia, but it can uncover it.
@@exponentmantissa5598 SO DO THESE FCKIN CIGGERATES AND ALCOHOL dude !!!
The safest she’s even been while making a episode haha ✌️
Agreed she has put up some risks on some of them
lool 100%
Yup 💜⚡💚👍🏻
Great episode !!!
😅😮
The cinematographers/ videographers and editors understood the assignment 👏
Absolutely nailed the visuals
Came here to say this. They definitely have done some acid. I love any psychedelic video has these effects but the hard drugs videos are mostly plain af.
Massive respect to all the people risking their own freedom to help set others free ❤
Jerry is God. LSD saves!
NFA
i love that she didn't find a chemist, love the energy on this one
I mean she found a few but not one that's currently making LSD
@@runningwithSaul what would be the difference, what if she did find one....
reams it would get them in trouble unless they were masked enough...
@@runningwithSaul he meant what would be the difference for the show
She found 3 by my count although it's not clear if all of them were actually skilled in synthetic organic chemistry.
the irony of a government employee talking about its just greed and profit lol these ppl hate competition
Yup
Right! I bet if he offered them a piece of the pie, they’d be feeling differently.
Like the legalization of marijuana. They couldnt just legalize it, they have to regulate it and collect all the permit fees and tax dollars.
@@Sh-ck3uy exactly!! I thought the same thing when he said that. lol
@@nikkaewing5 yup, big brothers gotta have his share.
I read that they were using acid to cure breast cancer. I had a brain tumor (benign) for 36. years. Dosed 1x a week for 3 years - no tumor. Also helped my depression and PTSD. I miss it.
She gives such narc vibes its amazing that any of these ppl would meet or talk to her
I honestly think this is all fake. She just made it seem like this for her report.
@@syfthis definitely a possibility
I get the vibe some of this is set up
She’s a snitch bro. The fact that she puts this all online/TV shows she’s a snitch. It’s literally snitching. And authorities can follow her movements through her phone and will therefore be able to surmise where she went and thus possibly deduct with whom she met.
@@chrisg2697
The point is they knew it was being filmed to be shown to the public. That wasn't her being a snitch, they knew. Also, burner phones exist.
Respect to all those risking freedom. May society mature and realise the potential together.
My high school days. Every weekend for 2 years. I dealt with my mother's death and my brother's death. I graduated from high school with straight A's it saved me. Its serenity and once you do it, you will wakeup and never see things the same way.
Me too. My dad died when I was twelve then my "experimentation" took off.
Four hundred trips later I had had enough. When you've learned what you needed its time to get off the bus.
basically same. But it was 10 years... The 90's :). (But honestly went from an all black wearing d student (who was surely going down a do nothing path in life), to graduating w/ honors and being happy and starting a business)
@@stefanschleps8758 Yep. I suspect that happens with every dedicated space trucker. Acid helped me reconcile relationship with my father for the best. Enhanced empathy.
@@stefanschleps8758 it stopped working for me at 18. I'm so sorry about your dad.
@@iamnotpresent I went from colorful bright girl to all black.
The reasons that DEA agent listed as reasons for prosecuting lsd users and sellers... "You don't know what you're getting for purity" and whatever else he said... Were actually reasons to legalize it and manufacture it safely.
He is a complete NPC
but if they legalize it, it becomes too expensive for the common worker or poor person to afford. That's what happened with pot.
Sure.. 40% of mj prices 4 taxes.
@@b.bailey8244 Then don't make it corporate
Yup, they think we are stupid.
"He's wearing a bacon and eggs mask and his head is covered with beans...."

I think we just found the narc in the group
@@6980869 lol! 🤦♂
How many decades did it take to finally have such positive reports in main stream... Thank you!
Psychedelics are illegal but war is not? That should be enough to figure it all out.
War is pretty illegal too. Just try and start one and see. Of course, when your military is a legit GOAT, no one can arrest you.
big pharma doesn't like to share the money pie.
The guy at the 15:00 minute mark is laying the LSD on those sheets so beyond unbelievably bad and wrong. I'm assuming that HAS to be a shot for the camera with water and blotter art. I was instructed to NEVER lay L down on sheets drop by drop. 1 that makes a sheet that is NOTHING but unevenly distributed LSD on the blotter, leading to INSANE hot spots.. You want to volumetrically dose your LSD into everclear or Isopropyl alcohol, put sheet in pyrex, submerge, then let drip off over pyrex. Grab sheets, rinse and repeat until out of sheets. Who TF is going to sit there and drop 900+ single drops on a piece of paper that the drop is supposed to hit a 0.6cm-1cm square piece of paper. PSHHHHHH
Agreed. I was always told to put solution in a flat tray and even and gently lay the sheet until evenly coated. And NEVER touch with your bare hands.
Your correction is valid.
You answered Yourself big dog
Yeah but you got to account for the Molar Mass of the quantity of LSD.. being such that 1 gram should go into 999.17 ml of ether, because LSD occupies 0.83ML of volume, at a 1 gram weight.
Giving a dosage of 100ul to 100ug exactly.
Sounds like I need to be friends with y’all 😂
Literally came to the comments to find THIS. It was painful to watch that part😩
LSD is amazing. It has to be experienced with respect and proper planning. It really helped me understand my experience in Iraq as a young soldier. It helped me understand my own nature and how important family, friends and nature are to life. Along with other magical tools like psilocybin it has helped my friends and I become more empathetic and closer to each other over the years. Truly a mystical encounter in this strange world.
Indeed sir
Alcohol is insane but people are worried about psychedelics?!
You're comparing one type of cheese to another. You don't have a great argument.
No kidding. Lets focus on problems that matter and are having a profound impact on our every day lives. LSD? LMAO
@@Confessions089 no he's not, alcohol is a true poison
@@FigurativeDreams I I recall, LSD isn't toxic. Alcohol is, you are correct. Still oranges and apples to compare. Alcohol isn't mind expanding.
Alcohol doesn't inspire you to genuinely transform your thoughts on ethics and authority. It just kills you and your victims slowly or quickly. They own the alcohol and cigarette industries. So those are allowed.
As a ex LSD user i don't see the big problem about it being used to treat certain types of mental health issues,i was born in 1980..the moment I first started to use lsd i never once had a problem in fact it took me to a place of pure positivity, and given the fact that I have severe mental health issues it helped eleviate my depression and anxiety disorders
It may happen eventually
What made you quit?
@@ShackieChan you dont actually need them they help you but theres no point on staying hooked and theyre not addictive

What type of yeast do they use?
They will pop pharma pills all day though
"You're putting something in your body that you don't know how it's made. You don't know what the dose is..." TBH that sounds like most of the food we eat in the U.S.
All the food…..
Big facts
Yeah the guy mentioned zero reasons to not take acid. Everything risk he mentioned is negatable pretty easily.
And pharmaceuticals.
The food is poison
I took my first cid trip at age 28. God showed me the truth about our false control based society. I was a completely different person after that.
Yes my friend I to was freed from the tight grip of an ego thriving social disorder at 18 . Change my life
God didn't show you...LSD did
@@danielkinn782 What do you think LSD does silly?
@danielkinn782 Nothing is being "shown to you" by LSD, nor is it God. My perspective is that the veil- which separates actual reality from the false reality that has been relentlessly imparted upon us since birth- is dissolved, followed by the death of the ego. You aren't being shown...there's no "you" to even show at that point. You are being allowed to see.
LSD is the Hidden Manna ❤
Everyone should try acid at least a few times in their life. It's a mind expander. Absolutely wonderful.
Its very obvious in middle age who's never tripped on any psychedelic..they are half the people the rest of us are.
It turns some into emotional wrecks. It worked out well for me but not my GF
Couldn't agree more
Like with everything there are side effects. And some people are more prone to them like others. So like with other drugs you should inform yourself about what you are taking, think about where and under what circumstances you take it. Then you can make the decision if you want to risk those side effects.
Mushrooms are fun and easy to grow. Even legal in Boulder, Colorado.
The comments are refreshing to see here. You all are wonderful lights in your own communities! Keep on spreading love!
They were made illegal because they allow you to connect to your spirit and it takes you on a wonderful journey that helps you through all kinds of trauma or depression. They allow you to see things for what they are truly are.
A movement that is based on questioning the Status quo and asking "why?" About the Most Basic functions in our society was a big thread for the conservative,war Driven,capitalistic united States Back then. Shutting it down was a logical Sound decision from the eyes of the Establishment
Not much has changed since then tbh
As well as what they’re not
Only one thing is made illegal: joy
Why do you need mold to make you see the value in things?
And see dancing skeletons and floating fetuses
Well done for covering the theraputic side of things. Also well done for those spinning her a loop in trying to find a chemist. An invertigative reporter who is terrified of drugs = NARC. They knew it.
My town has been flooded with cheap high grade acid for a couple years now. I'm happy it made a comeback.
Same. It's in ever city and town across America, if you know who to ask.
@@augustwest5487 I feel like with a name like that, you just know. Down by the docks of the city
Onion did this
@@petegodzilla8918 you know it 😉
@@augustwest5487 My parents grew up in the 60s and 70s in towns in rural Northern Michigan (500 - 800 people) splat out in the middle of the forest or farm fields and they and their friends always had acid back in the day. It's not because it's so easy to make. Those who try it know for an indisputable fact that its existence is a much-needed benefit to humanity and to hear someone haughtily tell you of the evils or immoralities of it sounds like someone very seriously peering over their glasses and telling you that a tree is made of sausage. Just bonkers pointless and stupid to hear.
What I experienced is insignificant. My hopes and wishes are for Matt, the Veteran. May he continue to improve and release the negative force(s) which impacted his life.
by far one of the best episodes Mariana i love it, im user myself after a life changing accident at a age of 15 where i broke my back and could no longer run. and was told id be in a wheelchair. Acid help accept and be at peace with what had happen and what my new life would be. took the suicidal thoughts away.
I like how everything the retired DEA agent mentioned, is a direct result of it being illegal. None of those problems would be a worry if they were legal and regulated.
37:57
You arent a bad guy Matt, hold your head up brother.
Thanks for sharing your story!
I hope you realize how many people are rooting for you now and want you to succeed and find peace😊
leave them alone - we need this stuff
thank you to every chemist who makes the world a better place with substances like this. you are heros of civilization in my eyes.
Favorite “drug” hands down. Never had a “bad trip” ever and always feel enlightened afterwards. I wish this was legal!
O it can happen but its easy to get back to the good trip. Not like the media portray it with people jumping out windows and other lies. A sudden change in your environment while tripping and being pulled swiftly back from a trip can trigger them but just get up and leave that room to another area usually helps. My favourite way was going from indoors to outdoors for a while helped me
Same. I've always always always had an amazing, divine godlike trip on LSD. Mushrooms have given me some iffy trips sometimes, but acid has always been good. When it's real acid that is. Hence why it should be legal and treated with respect.
100 %.
It WAS legal in Oregon until early this year! Still only a misdemeanor.
So the young veteran who suffered PTSD serving his country should be applauded for his courage to share his story. The world needs to hear more stories like this.
Thank you Casey❤️ found my freedom at a Dead show back in 93. I'm sure I had some of your medicine over the years✌️❤️🎶
My friend brought back a vial from a Dead show in '94 to share with us. It was incredible.

No mention of Owsley Stanley, Sandoz Labs, the abuse by Intelligence agencies, not one psychiatrist or behavior therapist...but lots of law enforcement. Just as each person's psyche is different so will their psychedelic experience. This is not necessarily a party drug.
In order to change the way one acts one has to change the way one thinks.

Another one in the “should be legal” jar
Facts
I agree. Given the harm some dru*s do, like ice etc, this should be at the discretion of the user or at least prescribed legally.
Politicians "I know the war on drugs is lost but, we're making money"
Amen 🙏
All should be legal. No one has a right to tell you what you can and cannot ingest. Especially when they consistently put poison in your water and food and let big pharma poison us.

These psychedelics (when used in moderation) teach Love
See God in each other. 🕉
Honor and respect your Self.
Worship and support your Self.
Meditate on, forgive, and discover your Self. 🕉
God dwells within you as you. ⛩️
-----Muktananda
You are correct.
Everything in balance. 😊
They also form bands... Really freaking good ones.
It teaches love in massive dosages also
YES MODERATION is the key.
I will say as a recovering opiate addict, L helps me abstain from opiates and benzos as i enjoy life now instead of trying to escape it. Forever grateful
going on 3 years clean from fentany/tranq (xylazine) and crack. LSD and mushrooms have changed and saved my life. i almost died from my drug use and ive never been in a better place
I’m 😊
Dude says it's greed and profit, unlike Corporate America right 😂😂😂😂😂
Or the Crane war.
He’s a total idoit.
Shameful in a capitalist country
I have done LSD many, many times, and it opened a gateway to my thinking in ways that I never saw before and made me realize the full creative potential that I had within myself already. I will just say this; if everyone was taking LSD, we would see a radically transformed creative reality, and the art, music, film that we have in today's world would look radically more original and unique than it does now.
I saw the earth chanting over and over again, “we are one! we are one!” Amazing. Good documentary
THE ENTIRE EARTH... CHANTING... It can give you those very very real and genuine perspectives that anybody who has NOT ever taken a tab will never ever understand as real. Yes there is a double negative. I'm a software engineer. Leave me alone lol. English bad. Code good.
In biochemistry class my professor let me synthesize mescaline. He was from Berkeley. WOW!
Never had a bad trip LSD
My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.
Yes, he sends anywhere and it’s always discreet.

NatGeo is only, what, 15 years behind Vice News?
old video anyway, didnt focus on any of the new LSD suppliers of the 20s decade or even the 10s. Theres a lab that's been printing with the same design for over close to 15 years now, I would love a documentary on those chemists
Both owned by Rupert Murdoch
They're a out to mass dose the population
Not relevant. It's about vibes and exposure. It's easy to see how this group of people is different from the ones making and trading in uppers or downers. Easy enough to make one think ...
i need a documentary about the guy at the end. he seems so genuine and i need to know more.
He seems nearly broken. Not at peace or free (yet).
I never had problems with depression, anxiety or ptsd when I was still able to get it. There's a big difference since I haven't had that eye opening, feeling of pure hope and happiness. It definitely is therapeutic and it's not that strong I don't think, I think what's more important is the environment you're in and that your with people you feel safe with. Personally I used to go to raves & after hour clubs on it but some people can't handle that & that's ok. Whatever floats your boat 😊
Its not that strong? Clearly you didnt get good stuff or you never experimented with higher doses. People who say they have done a lot of acid but only take 1/2 or 1 hit have no idea.
Was clear how this guy used it already from the first half of the comment
I love you family,NFA🌹, your batch changed me from a desperate addition to control PTSD, to harm reduction, integration and, a life I can live with today! 🍄💙✌️🙏, respect!
Oh Lucy, the love of my life! I miss her so much!

An old buddy of mine was a chemist. He made LSD 25 on the regular in his house. I tripped balls for years but gave it up when another friend had a bad trip. She is still messed up 30 years later. I have not seen or spoken with my old chemist friend in 25 years.
Greatest experiences I’ve had were on psychedelics, love them
Just had a flashback last year. I only remember walking around my house with my finger on the wall for a long time. My wife said it lasted about 2 days! I wish the Greatful Dead still played
I took my 1st hit at 14 in 80' & I loved it. I could think clearly & do highschool no problem.
B.S.
@@Itsme-ni9jk maybe your low mentality and lack of creativity couldn't do more than trip out for 12 hours but other people with more than 10 brain cells left had a great experience . 🤣👍

I’ve had life changing experiences on L.
It’s so refreshing to see I’m not the only one.

Yes it knocks out depression cause U see how futile yet beautiful this world really is
Watching this made me emotional. It was the mushrooms that changed my life.
Thank you for spreading light on some of these medicines. They really can be life changing if thats what the user is in need of. I'm surprised nobody mentioned it but these things (when taken properly) give you what you need, not what you want.

In the 70s it was 4way ,eye drop amount...today's tabs is 1/4 amount..GO WOODSTOCK...hahaha
And?
Was my favorite drug for decades
I am a licensed psilocybin service provider in oregon. I have practice for many years when it became legal. I was appalled by how many SSRI’s and brain numbing drugs vets are given. I see a continued cycle of generation after generation facing trauma from war. having children that grow up, not understanding why their parents can’t love them. It’s a cycle that’s repeated since the beginning of time. When will we wake up and stop this madness.
This drug gave me the courage to accept myself and come out.
Happy for you bro. It made me want to get better. My first ego death changed my life.
I'm back again ! GREATEST DOCUMENTARY EVER!
Acid, mescaline, blotter, mushrooms, from 1972 to about a decade later I would trip often many times a week, it's not for everybody, most people who have bad trips often bring up on themselves with hyperventilating, freaking themselves out before they even get off, you have have to stay calm, especially the with the initial effects, a lot of misinformation about it, exaggerations, embellishments. I'd buy some if I could find it, I think it could be very beneficial for many ailments, in micro doses.
I remember spacing out the events as it wouldn't come on without a brain rest.
Always stay in control, I think this is in your sub conscious
A very simplistic view of bad trips. I had a bad trip suddenly about halfway through the dosage, my thoughts becoming more and more grim. I was not hyperventilating but I did feel I had to get up and go for a walk which made it a little better. Then when I got back to my friend's house, I went to the bedroom I was staying in and got into bed. The overall negative/darkly tinged theme was a proverbial hot iron which felt like my neurons were being pressed and fried and I just had to sit there mentally frying! This left me physically exhausted and emotionally drained as the sun came up. It was not brought on at all by fear I was expecting an awesome time like I had many times before, but then it just hit me.
Took some pyramid gel tabs. They had little gold sparkles. Insane trip. Lasted wayy to long
Way too long means you had too much, maybe past 400 micrograms. It happened to me, it causes brain changes, dyslexia, acne, falling off your tracks to anywhere. A deluded sense that people are basically good and trustworthy will get you taken advantage of everywhere you go.
Those are the bomb
Things like 25i-nbome would get you high just like acid but are potentially deadly be safe friend
@@OG_Bobby_Johnson yea I think that's what it was
The blue geltabs were insane. Probably shouldn't have taken three at once. 🥹
Respect the medicine. Grow your own psylicibin. Natural non synthetic and you can do it all yourself VERY easily very cheaply. God bless 🙏 Terrence McKenna ❤ and Sasha
Mushrooms are a poor substitute for LSD, tho. Different chemicals, different vibe. Less predictable, too; easier too foul up the dosing.
shrooms = lord of the rings & lsd = star wars
Psylocibin is far more predictable in my experience. Lot's of laughs and positive visuals.
One of the best experiences ever.
20:57 respect to the Shulgins ❤
imagine being the plug and your homie got a film crew down the street you dont know about filming yalls interaction and audio recording you lmao.
Probably 1 of the best RUclips vids I've watched
Lsd is not the " holy grail" of psychedelics. They are all the holy grail
Thank you for your service Mr. Hardison
What a great documentary very cool ,awesome investigation 👍👍👍✌
Such a cool vid. I loved when hamilton morris covered Krystle Cole and her story about leonard pickard and todd skinner. Super crazy. Im an experienced psychonaut myself and im a chemist now. These stories about secret clandestine chemists are so interesting
I visited Leonard many times in prison. We still are in touch.
I want to be Matt's friend, seriously I've lived with a level of depression that Matt's been introduced to. I'm a real friend, Matt! 🙏
As a person that as taken doses from a few to more than 50 doses at a time it changed my life forever i realized the human condition and opened my mind to evey aspect and vue from every one to every thing !! I never saw like wierd stuff but i did see the auras from all living things .
You had WEAK acid.
Oh, I remember the nights listening to the forests breath, the rivers babble! The greatest experiences of my life and at 66 I'm still tripping the light fantastic!
It is sacred
💯
or perhaps sometimes a path in that direction
I want to thank National Geographic for treating this subject fairly. So many times authority sources are entirely negative and wrong about the subjects that they talk about when it comes to drugs, fear and bias are usually a major part of the conversation. This was by far the most reasonable exploration of the topic that I’ve ever seen put out by a public entity. As a guy who enjoys LSD and DMT regularly. I can say that there are many positive aspects to the psychedelic experience, and by far the most interesting one is how much DMT restores my spirituality when I seem to lose faith in humanity every day because of what our government does. It keeps me looking for the good in people.
It’s been 40 years but L is by far my fav drug……unless you catch a bad one.
I have never had a bad trip nor have ever heard of anyone having one and I have tripped hundreds of times .
@@rottweilerfun9520 it all depends on the person and environment really, personally I’ve seen two people I know have a bad trip
@@rottweilerfun9520 your lucky only had one but it was a mfer kinda like getting sea sick you’re afraid to try again 😬but I did 😀
Found Lucy multiple times... She showed me love is what makes the world go round and makes things happen... Also had a girl out in the streets at night looking for jesus *Literally*
those dancing bear tabs are really nice!!!!
They are and Micky Mouse.
Garcia Water Colors 1990's, were awesome! Gold Dolphins 1980's, were good. But I think overall the best blotter we ever had was Mr. Natural in the 1970's. Good vibes.
@@considerthis410😅😂❤
Micky the Wizard were great!
@@stefanschleps8758I enjoyed the “Joe Cool” Snoopy blotter in the late 70s and I remember the paper you guys are referring to.
You can buy all these blotter papers still and you can get a gram of lsd for 3-9k on DNM
Mariana should take a trip!
I could get it for 50 cents a hit in 1966 ! I sell it for 2 dollars! That was good money back then, out of Oklahoma all the way to Louisiana! Gee I sad to much !
Send me location lol
36 cents a hit in 1988. Thank the Deadheads and Sandoz Chemicals!
You can get sheets for $150. Considering it's 60 years later I'd say that's not bad. If you buy some crystal it works down to about .25~.50c a hit.
Nat Geo: *let's go find out where the drugs come from*
Me and everyone else: stfu nat geo you know nothing leave me be.
Love everything Mariana Van Zeller does!
Same
